This book should be read by all Americans,a story of men that did not flinch in the face of overwhelming odds,but stood fast and true to the words"The Greatest Generation".A story of men that are fast falling from our midst,more than a thousand each and every day.These are real people,everday men that fought the last World War.
Not one of these men would consider themselves heros,but that are in the truest sense of the of the word.I can do justice with mere words for this book,a must read.
